NEBRASKA, ASSIGNORS OF ONE-THIRD TO ALBERT BRASKA Application ledDecember This invention relates to molds, and it is an object of theinvention to provide a device of this kind particularly intended for usein the forming of meat patties andwherein provision is made tofacilitatethe removal of the molded patty. Y

The invention also has for an object to provide a device of this kindwhich operates to produce a perforated patty or cake, to-

gether with means to hold the patty or cake intact with the perforationsundistorted during the time intervening between the molding Vof the cakeor patty and its placement upon the griddle or kindred utensillforcooking.

The invention consists in the details of construction and in thecombination and arrangement of the several parts of our mold wherebycertain, important advantages are attained and the device renderedsimpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient and advantageousfor use, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

The novel features of our invention will hereinafter be definitelyclaimed.

In order that our invention may be the better understood, we will nowproceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawing,wherein Figure 3 is a view in top plan of a removing sheet constructedin accordance with an embodiment of our inventlon. n Our improved moldcomprises the member M of desired configuration and which is hereinshown as provided with two depressions l each of desired dimensions andcapacity, said depressions constituting dies in which the cakes orpatties are to be formed. Y EX- tending upwardly'from the base wall ofeach of these depressions l are the upstanding pins 2 arranged in aplurality of annular series `in concentric relation, said pins being ofa length to terminate substantially flush with Figure l is a view in topplan .ofk a moldv o MCAULEY, our"Y LAX/vanivcii,f

the upper surface of the member M proper. Before a patty or cake isformed or molded within a depression or die l a sheet 3 of waxed paperor kindred material is disposed over and in close contact with thebottom wall of the die or depression, said sheetor'lamination beingprovided with the properly positioned openings 4l through which the pins2 are projected.

i At a desired point on its periphery the sheet or lamination 3 isprovided with an out-X standing tab 5 overlying` the member Mpropl er toone side of the depression or die l. As

the cake or patty is formed or molded within ik 'f the die or depressionlY the patty or cake will Vbe separated from the bottom wall of the dieor depression by the sheet or laminationB'.-

To remove the patty or cake itis only necessary to lift it out by takinghold of the tab 5. The sheet or lamination 3 will cling` to the cake orpatty until placed on the griddle and heated when it will separate ofits own accord. This adherence of the sheet 0r lamination 3 is ofparticular importance and advantage as it serves to hold the pattyintactV with the perforations therethrough as cre-' ated by the pins 2undistorted during the period intervening between the molding of thepatty or cake and its placement upon the heated griddle or kindredutensil. i

From the vforegoing description it is 'thought to be obvious that a moldconstructed `in accordance with our invention is particularlywell'adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facilitywith whichit may be assembled and operated, and it will also be obvious that ourinvention is susceptible of some change and modification withoutdeparting from the principles and spirit thereof and for this reason wedo not wish to be understood as limiting ourselves to the precisearrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carryingout our invention in practice except ashereinafter claimed.

We claim Akmolded article lifting andl form retainvabout upstanding pinsprovided in a mold or 00K Y form and adapted to loe initially disposedin a mold and conform to the cavity of the mold Vand to receive on oneface thereof an uncooked molded article, and a lifting tab formed Withthe sheet and providing means whereby the sheet and the article may heremoved from the mold, said sheet maintaining the article in its moldedform after removal of the article from the mold.

In testimony whereof We hereunto ai'iix our signatures.
